From blog.nileguide.com Top 10 Mountain Towns in North America  March 10, 2009

"Many of us cling to the dream of ditching the urban rat race and moving to a funky town in the mountains where we can hike, bike, climb, paddle, and ski to our heart's content."

# 3: Bozeman, Montana - Bozeman is an easy drive from Yellowstone [Park], and Big Sky sits just up the Madison Gallatin River. As a university town, it offers decent great local food and culture, where you can bone up on your literature in between jaunts to hit the hikable [and skiable] backcountry at Bridger Bowl.

Note: Killer mountain biking, kayaking, and fly fishing, too..

Our son is progressing fast, skiing the Magic Carpet Hill as well as skiing Blue slopes and Green slopes between his papa's legs.

No fun here...

The Montana snow was excellent, the Montana sun couldn't have been brighter, the big Montana sky clearer...the camaraderie better.

Tremendous views and the Tetons (not shown) are often visible on these very clear days... just a bit too many alto stratus clouds this day...
